• Vagablog 1.6

    Posted on December 15, 2003

    I’ve released the 1.6 version of Vagablog, which contains fixes for using accented characters with Blogger.com and an option to post without publishing. I’ve had trouble getting accented characters working in Wordpress and Movable Type however. I think the issue is actually with the tools, although I could be wrong.... [Read More]

  • Blogger Team at the San Fran Weblogger Meetup

    Posted on December 13, 2003

    After the horrid turnout of the last Weblog Meetup, I did a little web crawling and emailed the people that I could find who were signed up for the event. The results were great. In particular, Jason Shellen says that he’s getting as much of the Blogger crew as he... [Read More]

  • Web Services and Message Oriented Protocols

    Posted on December 13, 2003

    There’s an interview with Adam Bosworth over at ACM Queue, and it touches on some ideas I’ve had in relation to mobile application. There is a lot of stuff that I don’t agree with at all in that article, such as modeling of web services upon the web browser/web site... [Read More]

  • Open Office Calc Basic Tutorial

    Posted on December 13, 2003

    There’s an article at MozillaQuest.com describing how to do the basic spreadsheet formatting operations necessary to setup a simple table of text.

  • Open Source Expo

    Posted on December 11, 2003

    I’m over at the Open Source Expo, sitting in the business track. Cause the business side is definitely where I’m weak. An interesting point came up during the investment panel related to the factors that realy stick out in the investor’s mind when looking at a company. Of course they... [Read More]

  • Vagablog 1.5 Release

    Posted on December 11, 2003

    I have the 1.5 release of Vagablog up on the Vagablog page. The updates are relatively minor, but it explicitly says that WordPress and Movable Type are supported. And when Movable Type is being used, it hides the extra fields on the main screen. Maybe this will cut down on... [Read More]

  • New Value Sets for Blogging

    Posted on December 10, 2003

    There’s a post over at Jeremy Zawodny’s blog titled TrackBack and Corporate Secrets. It gives one example where traditionally convenient blogging features can be a pain for businesses. Blogs are moving into areas where the culture is significantly different than where they came from. Requirements of a business user can... [Read More]

  • PalmHTTP 2.0

    Posted on December 9, 2003

    I’ve posted the 2.0 version of PalmHTTP on the Bitsplitter site, and reformated that page while I was at it. The interface to the library itself is now quite different, with covers for dealing with the URL struct, a POST struct and covers to deal with it, settings for the... [Read More]
